Giuseppe

I'm here to tell you I am one super affectionate big beautiful boy. The staff here say I love nothing more than to give them the biggest smooches.

I'm an easy going chap, so If you have a spare seat on the couch, need your lap kept warm, and wish to have endless conversations, I am your man.

I have feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), but don't let that put you off, I am in great shape and health. And I can easily live a happy and healthy life.

So what are you waiting for? Come down and say hello.

ADOPTING AN ANIMAL

Things to consider before adopting an animal

Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.

Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.

Before you decide, have you considered the following?

Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?

Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?

Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?

Do I have time for obedience training?

If renting, does the landlord permit pets?

Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?

Does the whole family want a pet?

Will the pet be allowed inside?

Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?

Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
